This all could have been avoided if the Envoy was equipped with Super Sports.

I had not considered that. I believe you may be correct. The reduced stopping distance the Pilot Super Sports (by Michelin) provide would have made the difference between a near miss and tragedy.

Oh that sucks 3seventyZ

When I lifted my car last night, I noticed this, I'm wondering how this could happen? From the occasional tire rubbing or I must of driven over something??

TGO, when you turn your wheel to the left (or fully to the right) does it make contact with that part of the fender liner?

btw, on my G i dont intend to get it fixed. it's too old of a car to fix in the first place and for me, as long as i know when to fill, it doesn't bother me that much. hahaha.
Yeah, it's not worrisome. My warranty runs out in January 2013 and my Z goes into storage at the end of October, so it makes sense to get all the little things fixed while I can.

Awesome! The hard work paid off

Actually when I do a fully locked turn, I have heard a "pop" so that could have been rubbing...but its only happened on one side and I'm surprised...looks like someone chewed it or melted it lol

Good Afternoon Z fellows!! A regular Monday in here =

Cloudy weather, still manage to drive the Z to work... nice start for a Monday, still LOL

Nothing much happen to the Z lately, but I've been thinking about putting another 5mm spacers on the rear. One question though, is it ok to add a 5mm spacer on top of the 10m studs-replacement one. I believe it should be ok.... correct me if I am wrong.

Mr.Onzedge, for the movie title, you can also consider "The Edge Identity".

heard of guys complain that if they are lowered and run spacers in the front the wheel may rub the part that sticks out with the fastner.

hi mr.alcheng! good to hear you got some motoring time this am.

you should be fine with the 5mm on top (between your spacer and your wheel, not between spacer and hub), but make sure you get at least 10mm of thread on the stud/lug. otherwise the thread could strip.

yep, the car was not meant to ride on low offsets on the front.

I am on Swift Spec-R, Koni and 15 mm spacers with no problems (except for my face muscles that get cramped from the constant grinning when I drive).

What tires are you using to hold your machine to the ground?

No clue, man. You're pretty quiet about your rubber.
